A driver who killed a family of four, including two babies, at a San Francisco bus stop was sentenced to probation. Mary Fong Lau (seen here walking through the courthouse today) dodged jail and prison time.
Lau, 80, was speeding when her Mercedes SUV plowed into a West Portal bus stop in 2024, investigators said. A family was waiting to catch the bus for a trip to the zoo.
The crash killed Diego Cardoso de Oliveira, his wife, Matilde Pinto, and their two babies.
Lau stood up in the courtroom and said, “I want to say to all the family, sorry. Sorry.”

I don’t claim to know the right punishment. But the wildest part of this story is that she can get her license back. Mary Lau’s defense claimed she hit 70+ mph because she mixed up the gas & the brake. If you’re too old to tell the difference there, you’re too old to be driving.

This book, about how Japanese banks were poised to take over the international financial world and destroy the American Dream, was published in 1988.

@humantransit Sort of like the view from NJ is better than NYC because NJ gets to face Manhattan

@PoliticsAndEd You get this view only if you face away from all of Orange County.

We used to have these. They were called Apartment Hotels. They’d consist of a single room with a bathroom, housecleaning, a cafeteria and lounges. Imagine being able to rent month to month and not need to furnish an apartment. It was ideal. Nuts we got rid of these.

Lots of people's social & romantic lives could be vastly improved if it was normal for young adults to live in college dorm-style accommodation in city centres until they were ready to set up home properly. Why doesn't this exist? I think there would be a market for it!

The question isn't whether Americans prefer space or density. We live in a market economy and people can choose among different alternatives, according to price.
The question is whether one side of a nearly 50/50 split should be able to ban the other side's preferences entirely

Americans still prefer space over density:

Biological and agricultural engineering is all one department at the University of Arkansas, which means every time I walk past their lounge I see women who look like this next to men that look like that

It is morbidly funny that we take 25 years to build a transit station but we can get all the Cesar Chavez memorials down in 12 hours.
Lex Steppling@LexStepp
The tearing down of Cesar Chavez’ legacy in the form of monuments and murals etc in Los Angeles is the fastest I’ve ever seen L.A politicians move.

We have to be realistic about our cities. Yes, we should clean up the street degradation. No, they aren’t all post-apocalyptic hellscapes, especially NYC. collegetowns.org/p/senior-drive…

@RichardHanania Depends on the metric. My Happiness Index shows the Scandinavians are very very sad.

English speaking countries are experiencing lower levels of happiness, driven primarily by what's happening to young people. The British rank as the saddest of the bunch.

Wild that Wyatt Earp ended up in Hollywood after all his adventures, consulting on sets of Westerns.
He was hanging out with Jack London and Charlie Chaplin in LA.
They should just do a sequel to Tombstone with current aged Kurt Russell.

If only there was a platform oriented around brief, punchy pieces of text. No more than, say, 280 characters each.

In my interview w/ @BrianCAlbrecht of @LawEconCenter (for @freethe_economy Episode 159) he talked about the various international "happiness index" rankings out there and why we're probably better off just using GDP as a measure of flourishing instead: youtube.com/watch?v=uIlJkz…
